Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 260 Hou Mo's Persistence and Doubt

I am no stranger to the members of the investigation team, including Teacher Tan, Professor Chu, and a young recorder who is a little embarrassed.

Teacher Tan is the leader of this investigation team. Looking at me, who was not energetic after the injury, she first gently cared about my physical condition, and then said: "Don't be nervous, in fact, every student who participated in the exercise , there will be such an investigation record, which will be counted as an exercise report, used for archiving, and used as a reference for the director team’s rating of the exercise performance, you just need to be realistic, just tell the truth, don’t be too nervous.”

I nodded and said yes.

Professor Chu was beside him, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he was very sleepy, as if he could fall asleep if he made the bed with a pillow.

Teacher Tan chatted with me for a while, and then started to get down to business.

She inquired about everything I had done in the past few days of the exercise, in every detail, and even brought up a map of my action trajectory for my reference, appearing to be very serious.

In fact, during the entire exercise, except for Master Nanhua's matter which I had to hide, I didn't have anything wrong with the rest of the exercise, so the conversation went very smoothly.

Before I knew it, I mentioned the accidents that had to be mentioned and could not be avoided in this exercise.

That is to say, students and staff frequently have accidents and are sucked dry.

I did not shy away from pointing my finger at Shang Liang.

I also used what Tang Dao said to me as circumstantial evidence, but Teacher Tan had to remind me at this time that Tang Dao did not mention this matter in his exercise records.

Hearing this, I felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that the situation might have changed during the time I was asleep.

But even so, I insisted on my opinion and did not change my mind.

This is about my exercise report. Teacher Tan didn't try to persuade me, but continued with the rest after a simple reminder.

With the help of the investigation team, I completed the exercise report. It was smooth in the early stage, but we still had some disagreements on a few key issues in the later stage, including how I killed the Mouse King and those few people. , Teacher Tan also raised several questions.

And my explanation obviously didn't satisfy her.

But even so, she maintained great tolerance. After almost finishing it, she asked the little brother who made the transcript to show me the entire transcript. After I confirmed that it was correct, she asked me to sign it page by page, and it was completed. this work.

After finishing all this, Teacher Tan announced that it was over, and when he was about to let me leave, Professor Chu who had been dozing off said, "Wait, Xiao Tan, you and Xiao Zhang go out first, and I will chat with Hou Mo. "

Teacher Tan was stunned for a moment, looked at the old rabbit, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay."

She took people away, and only Professor Chu and I were left in the small room.

I looked at Professor Chu with some doubts, but the other party yawned for a long time, and then said: "Actually, all the students have finished their exercise reports, and you are the last one."

I didn't know what he wanted to express, so I said respectfully: "Well, then what?"

Professor Chu rubbed his face, and said that even if your exercise report has not come out, but from the overall exercise results and other people's side confirmation, you should not be able to escape the judgment of exercise No.2; and from what I just heard The process of coming down, in my place, this No.2, is a sure thing.

Hearing this result, I have always been in a gloomy mood. Finally, there was a ray of sunshine on my face, and I couldn't help showing a smile on my face, and said to him: "Thank you, Teacher Chu, thank you for the organization..."

Before I finished speaking, he raised his hand and interrupted me, saying you wait first, I haven't finished speaking yet.

what?
I was shocked for a while, and said, what do you mean, there is something wrong here?

Professor Chu nodded and said yes, that's why I kept you. What do you think about Shang Liang?

Hearing the name "Shang Liang", my face became a little gloomy.

I took a deep breath and said in a somewhat blunt tone: "I think I have expressed my views on Shang Liang very clearly just now; and the organization, especially Mr. Views and attitudes are what confuse me. And I really want to know what kind of nightcrawler blood Shang Liang is, and whether Shang Liang can do those things in Mr. Zhao’s view—for these, have you ever had a real experience? Judgment and evaluation?"

Hearing my resentful words, Professor Chu smiled.

He asked me to finish what was in my heart, and then slowly said: "There is one thing, because you are injured and unconscious, so you may not be very clear-this actual combat exercise, there were 57 participants in the final participants, but in the end Only 29 people survived, that is to say, 28 people stayed forever in this vast forest at the northern foot of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains."

what?
When I heard this data, I was shocked and said, how could there be so many?
Professor Chu said with a wry smile: "You didn't think of it, did you? In fact, before this, we actually expected it and applied for a certain death index. However, they did not expect that the attrition rate would reach such a high level--this training camp, all the organizers, including Deputy Director Tian Yingnan, Director Liu Bin of the Training Department, and Consultant Zhao Peng, even Those of us trainers will all be punished, and none of us will be able to escape..."

I said you told me this, what do you mean?
Professor Chu said: "I know that you have resentment in your heart. The reason why I tell you this is to tell you that all the relevant persons in charge of this accident have been punished. This is also a burial for all the elders. Here is an explanation from the heroic soul; but I also want to remind you, Shang Liang, he is also a victim of this incident, and his experience is worse than yours..."

The dead are great.

I understood what Professor Chu wanted to talk to me, and after a long silence, I said, "You mean, you want me to change my mind and give up my suspicion of Shang Liang?"

Professor Chu said: "This is what everyone means. You should know that such speculation is very insulting to a dead student; and such things, whether true or not, are also very insulting to the family members of the deceased. It's hard to accept, especially Shang Liang's father, and his father's unit, are still very influential..."

I was silent for a while, then raised my head and said, "If I insist, will the school deny my ranking in the drill?"

Professor Chu didn't expect that after chatting with me for so long, I would still persist like this.

He froze for a moment, staring into my eyes.

I looked at him without fear, neither humble nor overbearing, with my own persistence in the silence.

After a while, he just said: "No, but in response to Zhao Peng's doubts, the school will conduct a test on you to verify whether you have the ability to kill the rat king, Tang Zhouming and others; and this A test, according to the doctor's professional judgment on your injury, will be arranged in two days - for this matter, you need to be mentally prepared."

After listening, I asked, "Is it a competition with Mr. Zhao?"

When Professor Chu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but then he became serious, saying that the matter of how to assess has not yet been studied, but it should be very strict.

I nodded without hesitation and said yes, I see.

Seeing me like this, Professor Chu knew that I had made up my mind, sighed a long time, and said, "Hou Mo, they asked me to talk to you about this matter because they hoped to rely on the relatively harmonious relationship between you and me. Let you change your mind, but since you insist on this, I have nothing to say..."

I stood up, bowed to Professor Chu, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, but there are some things that I must insist on, because I know that sometimes, the truth may be in the hands of a few people."

Professor Chu shook his head and said, Hou Mo, although you will suffer a lot in the future with your temper, but from my personal point of view, I still admire your behavior.

He came up, shook my hand, and said good luck.

After talking with Professor Chu, I came back to the ward and saw Li An'an, Ma Sifan, Kong Xiangfei, and Dong Hongfei all gathered here.

When the big guys saw me coming in, they gathered around to say hello, while Bai Xiaosheng and Ma Sifan clapped their hands and said excitedly, "Come on, come on, congratulations to our runner-up in this exercise, classmate Hou Mo..."

Everyone applauded and applauded, and the atmosphere was lively, but I was the only one who looked silent and smiled wryly.

Ma Yi'ao was the first to see that my mood was wrong, stopped everyone, and then asked me: "Hou Zi, what's wrong with you?"

I sighed and said I might have another playoff game.

what?
Everyone was shocked and asked me the reason, and I answered truthfully. After hearing this, everyone didn't quite understand, but they couldn't say much, they could only encourage and comfort me.

Ma Sifan raised his hand and said wait a minute, I'll go and find out what's going on.

Ma Sifan left, the big guys were afraid of delaying our rest, and after chatting for a few more words, they also got up to leave.

Li Anan was the last one to leave. She looked at me, bit her lip, and asked me, "Should I go to Li Hongjun and ask him to ask someone to help you?"

I shook my head and said it was fine.

After everyone left, Ma Yi'ao came up to me and asked me, "What's the matter with you? Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

I stared at Ma Yi'ao, and after a long time, I slowly said: "I suspect, Shang Liang, he is not dead at all."
